"....As for the problem some keep bringing up that "our friends of the
future" may not be that friendly, and may have no interest in bringing us
back to life, I feel strongly that the opposite will be the case, at least
for *some* persons of the future. It should not take very many...."

I agree with Mike Perry.  But I say *all* persons, as the meaning of *life*
will have a ridiculously profound meaning in comparison to our thoughts of
it now.  In other words, you will try very hard not to step on an ant.

There are two things that make me think revival will happen (even if Mike
and our friends are still down too).  One is the building of intellect,
which will most likely be involved in the path to the future, whether as
bio-humans or other.  This should help us slowly take control of the
reptilian part of the brain that evokes hostility, especially for
retardo-completitive reasons.  This new applied "smartness" would also bring
with a clear understanding of the suspended person's past efforts and how
they were in tune with the success of the future where these new humans
live.

Two.  Knowing pretty darn sure that Terminators will not exist in the
future, as per above, lets me know that our plight as life extensionists in
biostasis is a clear and strong cry for help.  Help that says, "please lift
me off of the ground, for I am acting as a bridge that you, the person in
the future, might use to cross for your own benefit" AND/OR a simple "help"
that is more emotion/survival driven, yet very effective if emotions are
used in similar ways as used now.  Shoot, we might bring rise to a world
full of railroad circus' and be brought back as side show fodder.  Even in
this bad scenario, I would still want to bee bound for the future, knowing
damn well that I will be able to untie myself at a certain point or grab the
closest pistola and say bye-bye.

If all fails and nobody even cares cause they are off to Mars and I stay
stiff forever, better than rotten.  And if you believe in a God of some
sort, it will nab you either way, right?

My thoughts. - Bobby June
